Poor Roger Moore! cries Paul. It’s only an opinion! I mean, Idris Elba can’t be English enough to be James Bond, can he?
Hey, Paul, I’ve got a fun idea! Let’s look at a map of London, shall we? Just for a laugh!
Look at that! London! Capital city of the United Kingdom! Now, where was Roger Moore – a man English enough to be James Bond, mind you – where was he born, eh?
What’s that, Lambeth? Where’s that, then?
Oh right! Thank you!
So what about this Idris Elba then, where was he born, bearing in mind he’s not English enough to be James Bond? Probably somewhere foreign, right?
Hackney? Really? And where is that?
Oh. So in the same city as Lambeth, then? In Britain? In the UK? In London? That’s London, England? So Idris Elba is, in fact, just as English as Roger Moore, is he?
So to sum up:
This is Roger Moore. He is English. He was born in Lambeth, London, UK.
This is Idris Elba. He is English. He was born in Hackney, London, UK.
NOTE TO PAUL: Paul, if you’re going to be racist, just be racist. It’s totally your choice and personally speaking I think it’s a pretty terrible thing to be, and I’ll judge the hell out of you nine ways from Sunday, but don’t compound it with dishonesty on top! If I’m going to call you a wanker, let it just be for the one thing and not two.
Wanker.
Idris Elba is as English as I am a Zulu.
Behold! An Indian!
English is a nationality not an ethnicity
How is Idris Elba being English even remotely in question?
To express the situation mathematically, (black guy being born in London + racist idiots) * the Internet = CONFUSION
